Conrad Maldives is a top-tier Hilton property that requires 95,000 Hilton points per night on their standard rooms (as of April 2021). Nightly paid rates range from $600 to over $1,000 per night. Hence, it is not truly a financially-viable option if you are a frugal tourist like myself as I’d rather invest that cash for early retirement versus splurge on an experience that only provides a momentary high. In this blog post, I will go over the steps on how you can also book 5 nights at the Conrad Maldives – Rangali Island using Hilton points on your next vacation.
